Miracles do Happen!

So, every once in awhile we get a moment with Ethan that makes me feel like we are doing something right! Last Sunday while we were sitting in Sacrament meeting, and it was while they were passing the sacrament, and Ethan whispered to me, "Mom, let's think about Jesus, ok?" and I say OK!! So he is sitting all quite and his arms folded(which by the way is so rare), and after a couple of minutes I said "Ethan are you still thinking about Jesus?" and he said "Yes, shhh!!" I loved it! Also this past Friday, I was picking up Ethan from school and since it was such nice weather I let the kids play on the playground for a bit, and his school teacher came up to me and said "Kristy, I have to let you know how proud I am of Ethan today." And I said why, well to make a long story short, there is a little boy in his class that seems a little slow and different, and Ethan has often said he cries alot, and the kids don't really like him, plus the teacher has said that this little boy doesn't really get along with the kids well. Anyway they had to pick buddies for a project they were doing and nobody wanted to be buddies with this other kid, and Ethan decided to be buddies with him! How cute is that! I am so glad that he is good and well behaved at school, because it is rare to see that side of him! When I hear of things like that it makes me feel good, and think that the hard work does pay off sometimes! I just want him to know how proud of him I am, he is doing so well in school and loves it, and I am so glad!
